Exploiting Hollywood 1980 Chapter 491

   Chapter 491 Return to Club 54

   Diane's temper came and went quickly, and the two got tired of being together the next day.

   But both Ronald and she eschewed the discussion of film careers and focused on the pleasures of being young. Diane has an explosive personality, which makes Ronald feel like a fire when he meets her, which is very exciting and interesting.

  Ronald thinks that such a straightforward girl has a very cute personality and will not cause misunderstandings. It's just that the two of them don't share much of the same hobbies except movies, so they don't feel like they communicate too much as a couple. Instead, they are a bit like "friends with interests."

  Wait on the 26th, Coppola finally got an additional investment check, and Diane went back to shoot. The two made an appointment and waited for her to finish filming and find time to get together.

   Two days later, Ronald received a call from Minahan Golan at home, ready to ask him to help with the release of "Sahara".

   Soon Brooke's mother, Terry, also called. She and Brooke Shields came to New York and invited Ronald to the hotel where they stayed to negotiate with Minahan.

  Ronald promised to go immediately. Both sides of this kind of negotiation are asking for themselves, and it is basically certain that a negotiation with a good result can be negotiated, which is not difficult.

   In the hotel room, Brooke was nervously combing her hair with a bristle comb in the bathroom, and she began to mutter to herself that it had been a long time since I had seen Ronald, and today was an opportunity. After the discussion is over, the parties will go to celebrate together, then mother Terry will not stare at her like this.

   "Borgy, are you really not going to Club 54 tonight?" Terry asked outside.

   "I'm a little tired and don't really want to go."

   "Well, you've been there many times anyway, but tonight there will be a lot of celebrities coming to the New Year's party, the annual reservation of the 54 Club."

   "Ding dong..." The doorbell rang.

  "I'm going to see", Brooke dropped the comb and went over to open the door.

   Ronald and Minahan happened to meet on the elevator, the two walked up together, Minahan stepped forward and rang the doorbell of Brooke's room.

  "Ronnie", Brooke opened the door with hope, but saw a smile on Minahan's fat face.

   "Borgy, I came with Ronald."

   "Come in." Brooke said nothing and let them into the living room.

  Terry just happened to be walking out of the room, a small glass of whisky in the morning to keep her spirited up. This is the dose the daughter agrees to, to keep her head in the negotiation.

   "Ms. Shields" Minahan gave a contrived kiss, "The marketing plan for the Saharan film..."

Terry raised his hand to stop Meinahan's flattery. "Meinahan, the film was slammed by critics during its test run, and Brooke didn't want to be part of the premiere and marketing tour of the film. She Now my main focus is on her studies at Princeton, and I don't want her to have anything to do with this bad movie she made before she entered school."

   "How can you say it's a bad movie?" Minahan rubbed his hands awkwardly. "Ronald, you said, my 'Sahara' always has merit."

   Ronald looked over, and Terry raised his eyes to see what he would say. The eyes of Bo Ji next to him looked over, and he was even more intently waiting for Ronald to express his thoughts.

   "Terry, Brooke, I think this movie is definitely not what we imagined when we started shooting, Lawrence of Arabia and blue coral reefs..."

   "But..." Minahan was anxious.

  Ronald patted him on the shoulder and stopped Minahan from continuing, "But to say that this movie has a good effect on Brooke's image..."

  Terry's eyes lit up immediately, from suspicious to serious.

"When Minahan first set up the project, he had a consideration. Last year at the Paris-Dakar Rally, British Prime Minister Margaret's son, Mark Thatcher, disappeared for a week in the middle of the rally. This film will Interesting for British audiences."

   After saying that, Ronald stabbed Minahan.

"Ah, yes yes, we have contacted the British distributor, Starlight Cinemas. They are very interested in the desert cross country rally plot in this movie and can attract enough audiences. Put Mark in the desert comfortably. After a week of alcoholism, the scandal involving the search by the imperial army has been exposed again. It happened that the workers there were very dissatisfied with the Prime Minister's lady..."

"Borgy..." Ronald saw that Minahan was still talking about the movie, so he had to pick up the conversation, "Borgy is known to be a look in the 1980s, but it has not been recognized by the public in the British fashion industry, this is a good opportunity, Sweetheart America visits Britain..."

"Ah, right..." Minahan reacted and began to talk about his plans for Boogie's trip to England in detail, "We are now starting this movie in Britain, and then take advantage of the media coverage and come back again. America showing.

"That's ok, Brooke just happened to be invited by several magazines to shoot the cover in England. Also, if Brooke is going to attend the premiere in London, I have to make sure that there are stars of status there, and I have to get MGM Issuance Guarantee…”

   Ronald saw that the negotiations were getting better, so he relaxed and looked around.

   Just as Brooke's gaze came over, Ronald smiled at her.

   "Gaga, Terry, that's it, I'll arrange your first class and a five-star hotel suite in London." He shook hands with Terry and reached an agreement. Just in time for spring break, Brooke traveled to London for the premiere of "Sahara" and took some photos for Vogue's British edition, where readers were impressed with her journey from model and actress to Princeton top student. interested.

  "Very good, we finally reached an agreement", Ronald got up to leave.

  Meinahan also packed up the new agreement and picked up his briefcase.

  "Ronald, thank you" Terry came over and hugged him, "Thanks to you being able to find a satisfactory focus for all parties."

   "It's nothing, Brooke has helped me a lot, it's a big help." Ronald waved to Brooke, "Then I'll go first."

   "Ronnie!" Brooke was anxious, originally hoping that Ronald would have a romantic date with him again today, or even further, why does Ronnie seem to have no interest.

   Ronald, Minahan, Terry, all three pairs of eyes looked at Brooke, waiting for her to follow.

   "I, I... I want to play with Ronald in Club 54. He promised me last time." Brooke said more and more and became more and more quiet.

   "You're finally willing to go? Great, Brooke, let's go tonight, little John is there too, and a lot of celebrities are going to the New Year's party at Club 54 tonight."

   "By the way, Ronald, you're not their VIP, right? I'll put you on the guest list then."

   "Uh... well." Ronald looked at Brooke's anxious eyes, as if she had something to say to him, so he agreed first.

   "I'll send you off", Brooke abandoned her restraint and took the initiative to send Ronald and Minahan out.

  After going out, Brooke avoided her mother's eyes and quickly attached to Ronald's ear and asked, "Why don't you call me after you're on vacation?"

  Ronald was stunned, and turned his head to look at Brooke's wonderful eyes, "I thought you like a romantic male partner." Didn't you already express your attitude in the last interview?

"I..." Brooke heard Ronald's words, her eyebrows twisted into a ball, and she was about to cry, "That's an answer that was negotiated for the effect of the show, didn't I say it later... "

  Ronald was confused for a while, is there anything else to say?

  Borgy understood Ronald's reaction, "Go look for the videotape, I'll wait for you at night...".

In the evening, Ronald took a taxi to Club 54 again. This time the doorman saw him come forward. "Mr. Ronald Lee, please come in from here." The blond doorman opened a hole next to the line. , let Ronald in.

   "Thank you, do you remember my name?"

   "Of course, your friend is upstairs." After Ronald entered, the doorman dialed the phone to inform the waiter inside.

  Ronald crossed the lively dance floor, went up to the second floor, walked through the suspended corridor, and came to the balcony.

   Bo Ji was waiting for him there. She painted light makeup, slightly weakened her flamboyant eyebrows, and her golden hair was made into big waves.

   She was wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress with a diamond-studded necklace around her neck. He wears diamond-studded earrings on both ears, and a bracelet on his right wrist.

   Brooke stared at Ronald with a pair of large glasses and walked in slowly.

  Ronald raised her hand and put his other hand on top, "I found the interview video of the day."

   "Hee hee hee..." Brooke smiled, revealing a dimple on one side, "I will take advantage of the spring break to go to London, will you come too?"

   "I'll try my best, I still have a movie clip to deal with now." Ronald calculated the time, maybe just in time, if something unexpected happened, he might not be able to go.

   "It's okay, I'm very happy that you came today." Brooke gently pulled out her hand, then took Ronald's arm, and the two walked into the largest private room.

   "Where's your mother?" Ronald looked around, but didn't see Terry.

   "She's in there listening to little John and his brother talking." Brooke accompanied Ronald into the room.

The lights inside    were not bright, everyone was chatting in a slightly dark room, Ronald didn't get used to it. He blinked and heard two men arguing in his ears.

   "In 1983, what do you think is the most important thing?"

  Ronald's eyes were adapted to the darkness, and he was talking about a handsome guy he had seen on TV, John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the former commander-in-chief and the darling of New York social circles.

   "I think it was the Grand Commander's invasion of Grenada that prevented the leaders there from falling too far to the Soviet Union."

   Little John asked himself and then looked at the other handsome blond.

   "Isn't the most important thing to me that the Australians beat us and won our America's Cup for 132 years?"

   The handsome blond replied, holding the hand of a beautiful woman next to him, and laughing back and forth, as if the joke was very funny.

   Ronald recognized the two of them, John F. Kennedy, Jr.'s cousin, and next to him was an Australian beauty, Rachel Ward, whom he encountered on the plane.

  Rachel Ward was very distressed. In order to avoid a quarrel with her boyfriend, she came to New York to meet David, her ex, just to avoid troubles. Unexpectedly, David Kennedy has not seen more and more wild and unruly in a few years. Her old troubles have not disappeared at all, but new ones have been born.

   "What do you think, Rachel?" Little John looked at the beauty beside his cousin.

  Rachael was not interested in this kind of empty talk of the son and brother pointing the country. She looked up and saw Ronald standing there, and Brooke Xiaosi next to her. Strange, is this boy really the director? He came with Brooke Shields.

   "I don't have any answers, I'm Australian, I want world peace, why don't you ask Ronald, a Hollywood film director."

  Ronald did not expect to be dragged into empty talk by Rachel.

   "Ronald, Brooke, come, let me introduce you." Terry stood up from the sofa and introduced everyone.

  Rachel Ward then believed that Ronald was indeed a Hollywood director, and he knew socialite Brooke Shields and wanted to have a certain reputation.

   Little Kennedy smiled at Ronald and made a gesture of please, allowing Ronald to express his opinion.

   "I think it should be the commander-in-chief who implemented a new economic policy. This year's inflation has finally come down. We can all have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief."

"Hahaha, is that voodoo economics?" David Kennedy let out a burst of laughter, and little John shook his head. This man doesn't understand political economy at all, as many film artists do. When it comes to economics, and international politics Just an idiot.

   They ignored Ronald and continued talking.

   Ronald felt a little bored and listened to the rhetoric for a while. It seems that the two brothers talked about the radical policy of the Grand Commander, whether it would cause the Soviet Union to retaliate, start a war, or even cause a nuclear war.

   He was a little tired of the idea of ​​talking about the lives of hundreds of millions of people, so he got up and walked out quietly. When Brooke saw him, she also came out.

   "Why, aren't you used to this kind of salon-style chat?" Brooke asked.

   "I just don't think I understand what they're discussing, it's too far away from me." Ronald made a high gesture with his hand.

   "I know, you have your own ideas, laugh at them being naive." As a socialite, Bo Ji is very good at observing people's words.

   "It can also be said that I am making movies, and I am closer to the joys, sorrows and joys of the people at the bottom." Ronald did not deny it.

   "Then I'll stay here with you for a while." Brooke stood next to Ronald, the two were relatively silent, and for a while they thought it was good to look at each other like this, and the two got closer and closer.

  Ronald's lips gradually approached Brooke, and the sound of her breathing was also heard by Ronald. The hot air she exhaled carried the smell of perfume and entered Ronald's nose.

  The two stayed for a while in a state of kissing but not kissing, but Brooke couldn't help but print it.

   "Borgy..." Ronald and Porgy were startled and quickly separated.

   "Bo Ji, are you here?" The brief sweetness between the two was interrupted by a soft voice. A young black man headed to the second floor with a group of people.

   "Oh, Ronald, didn't expect to see you here."

  The two turned around and saw that it was singer Michael Jackson dressed in diamonds.

   There are many assistants and bodyguards behind him.

   "Borgy", Jackson hugged Borgy happily and then kissed each other on the face. The two of them had long known each other at the Oscars.

   The three got to know each other and soon chatted temporarily on the balcony.

   "Your single, Billy King, is a big hit right now."

Ronald remembered MJ's performance at the Motown Memorial Concert. Since the TV station recorded this live performance a few months later, Jackson's album has been selling very well. play his songs.

"Yeah, my first record in Colombia sold very well. By the way, the crazy legs I introduced last time, and now I'm going to make a movie. I need a break dance choreographer now, what other talents do you recommend? ?"

  "I only know them", Ronald shook his head, knowing them only by chance while filming "Lightning Dance".

"By the way, I also know a dancer in Los Angeles, but ... but he is disabled and can only do hand movements and floor dance." Ronald remembered the "Handyman" who danced with crutches on the streets of Los Angeles. ".

   "His name is Eddie Rodriguez, and you can find him in Venice Beach."

   "Then he must be wonderful, but the dancer I'm looking for is to improve the spacewalk..."

  "Oh", Ronald expressed his understanding, "Why, do you still need to improve? I think the girls in America are crazy about this dance now."

   "I think he lacks a little strength."

   "By the way, I'm going to shoot a Pepsi commercial soon. I know you are also the director of the commercial and MV. Do you have any advice for me?" MJ rarely had the opportunity to get along with film directors, so he asked.

   "Advertising? Then you should pay attention to rest. Shooting commercials may be quite intense, and it will take a day or two to complete."

   "You know, many musicians are also making movies now, is there a chance for me to make a movie based on my own song?" MJ continued to ask.

   "A movie based on a song? I've done a lot of it. For this kind of custom movie, you can find someone to shoot at Columbia Pictures, which is the same old club as Columbia Records. What single do you want to shoot?"

   "That's The Legend of Billy Jean."

   Ronald and Michael Jackson chatted non-stop, and Brooke reminded him, "Let's go in."

  The three entered the room, and the arrival of MJ suddenly caused the girls to scream. Come up and surround him for autographs.

   Ronald looked at these girls, who were usually considered celebrities, and when he saw MJ, he became an ordinary fan girl. He couldn't help being a little surprised. After a few months, MJ's influence seemed to break through the ceiling of black stars.

   But in the eyes of the two Kennedys, MJ was still the black musician who danced with women for himself in places like the "Cotton Club".

  Michael Jackson was out of tune with them and couldn't talk to each other. After signing autographs for a few fans and taking a group photo, I chatted with the fans inside about who is the most powerful comic book hero.

  Ronald looked at his watch, it was very late, so he had to say goodbye to everyone. Brooke said she was going to go with her mother Terry. Brooke lingered with the Kennedy brothers for a long time inside, and Ronald was getting a little impatient when he was alone.

After a long time, Brooke finally came out with his mother Terry, and Michael Jackson accompanied them down. He clearly saw the attitude of those white elites towards him, and knew that Ronald and Brooke were not invisible to him. discrimination.

  Terry was a little drunk again, and an MJ bodyguard supported her. In front of Ronald, Brooke felt a little embarrassed, "I have to deal with them, and then Terry is drunk and can't walk, I ask MJ's bodyguard to help..."

   "It's okay, I'll call a taxi". Ronald said.

  At the door Ronald saw that there were no taxis at the door, went out and put his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly.

   But the yellow taxis passed by one after another without any intention of stopping.

   Ronald took out another twenty dollars and waved it in his hand. Now that the business is good in the official evening, Ronald didn't stop it all at once.

   "It's better to take you back in my car first." Michael Jackson smiled, "It's late, I'm worried about your mother. Ronald can take a taxi by himself."

   Bo Ji looked at the situation and had no choice but to help her mother into the limousine driven by the MJ driver.

She walked over to say goodbye to Ronald, "My mother is a bit... I'll take MJ's car and go first. I'll call you when I get to the hotel. I'm going back to New Jersey to take a new magazine photo, next time we're in London..." Brooke leaned on Ronald.

  Ronald regretted not driving his car, but Terry almost fell to the ground when he got in the car. Knowing that the most important thing now is to send her back.

   "Okay, you know my phone number."

   The two kissed again and quickly separated.

   Ronald stood on the side of the road, watching Brooke in the luxury car waving to him, he also raised his hand and waved, and then continued to call the car. "You must find a driver in the future."

  The Litre in the luxury car slept well in the back.

  Michael Jackson sat in the middle, next to Brooke Shields. He watched Bo Ji wave his hand, and the car drove a distance, and he suddenly said, "I sometimes think that only a young and famous person like you understands me. We have a lot in common."

   Bo Ji smiled and agreed, MJ was indeed just like her, and she was faced with the nitpicking of adults at a young age. She was still looking out the window in Ronald's direction.

   "I'm thinking, if I marry you and have two kids, we can hire a lot of babysitters to take care of them and take care of the kids at home together when we're not busy."

   "Huh?!" Brooke turned to look at MJ, the black boy with big glasses, who didn't seem to know how to get along with girls, and suddenly discussed his married life with himself.

Brooke chose her words carefully, "You have me for the rest of your life, you don't need to marry me, MJ. I'm going to continue. Have my own marriage and my own kids...that's my private life, and you Will always have my friendship."

   "Hehehe..." Michael Jackson also relaxed, he really wouldn't discuss such things with girls. He has been the lead singer of the family band Jackson5 since he was a child. After going solo, he quickly became popular. Now the girls who approach him have various purposes.

   Bo Ji's words made him very relaxed, and he wouldn't feel a lot of pressure when dealing with such a beautiful woman who was also famous in America.

   "Which one do you think is more powerful, Supergirl or Wonder Woman?"

   "I think Wonder Woman is more powerful...Supergirl seems to be a weakened version of Superman."

   I have something to delay today, the two-in-one chapter.

   (end of this chapter)
